Marie Rouanet’s short text, reprinted from the last chapter of her book Tout jardin est Eden, is accompanied by eight mezzotints by Judith Rothchild. The book in the form of a leporello is printed on Hahnemühle paper. Almost all the images include a snail wandering around as if it has invaded the page, as it would an abandoned garden. The wrappers are screen printed green with a helix design which is also reproduced on the slipcase and boxes. Signed by the author and the artist. Edition of 50. Size 17 x 22 cm.

The text is hand set and printed on an 1867 Albion press by Mark Lintott. The slipcases and boxes are by Claude Vallin.

The first eight copies (1/50 to 8/50), the deluxe edition, are presented in clamshell boxes and include one of the original copper mezzotint plates. The regular edition (9/50 to 50/50) is presented in slipcases. Copies 45/50 to 49/50 are not for sale. The copy numbered 50/50 is reserved for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
